We, The players, Can form a new outpost in game!!!!!

@magus104 This has been my stance the whole time. It's the "What If". Golden Sands was the nicest looking bad outpost.

@magus104

While I agree that a new outpost would be cool, it brings the potential for another Dagger Tooth Outpost.

Dagger Tooth Outpost is the worst outpost in my opinion because all factions are on opposite corners of the island. Golden Sands Outpost has 4 separate islands. Imagine if you will that each island had it’s own faction tent, gold hoarders, order of souls and merchant alliance on each island. If that’s the case, I would burn Golden Sands Outpost myself.

Golden Sands Outpost was the most beautiful outpost with everything centered on one island. That’s what made Golden Sands Outpost a good outpost. If Golden Sands Outpost falls, we could get an outpost worse than Dagger Tooth Outpost or Ancient Spire outpost. Do you really want to risk that?

@coffeelight5545 Honestly Ancient Spire and Golden Sands were very much on par with eachother. The Big 3 were all close and Athena was just silly. Daggertooth is clearly the worst. But all theee of these outposts were the bad outposts. Sanctuary/Plunder/Galleons were always the best 3.

I am already on burning GS down to see what happens next. Why do the reapers need it to "remain shrouded"? That said if they spread Golden Sands out to all of the islands it will the worst of the worst outposts, with the only benefit being it looks pretty. And while there is no known plans that we would get a different outpost, I have to imagine Merrick wouldn't want the residents of GS to remain homeless.

ps. we aren't going to discuss Morrows...

@coffeelight5545 With those I've talked to, there was agreement that if Dagger Tooth Outpost was the one being attacked by reapers nobody would be trying to save it.😅

Yes, I do want to risks that :)

@mr-whaletoes

Actually, it does.

If Golden Sands Outpost falls then the residents will simply build a new outpost on a different island. The question is where?

@gipperseadog

I’m afraid that the Sea Dog tavern will become the new outpost. It would require the least amount of work to convert into a functioning outpost

Then the shops would be double.

And a pain to turn in, as I doubt the Trading Companies will all fit on one rock.

A lot of assumptions being made on the destroy side. There's no guarantee that anything will replace Golden Sands.

When it's left in ruins, barren, and covered in the shroud for years, I hope you all remember your choice.

@lem0n-curry

Assuming we have access to the inside of the tavern. Remember the door is currently closed

The shops are on the outside.

@lem0n-curry

Then why did you mention the shops were double? I know there are shops outside. I figured you were talking about the vendors inside too

Where would the shopkeepers go from Golden Sands ? If they go to the Sea Dog tavern, there will be two of each.

The shipwright, clothing shop, equipment shop and weaponsmith's shop are outside the tavern in Adventure.

@lem0n-curry

You make a valid point. I forgot about them. I’m sure Rare can create some story or adventure where the original Sea Dog vendors disappear or take part in the Flameheart story

Still the issue it's quite an awkward island to turn things in. However, it does have a portal-like shape, so we can get rid of one of those Tall Tale portals.

@lem0n-curry

Dagger Tooth Outpost is awkward for handing stuff in. Everything is so spread out. That’s why I wished that Rare would destroy Dagger Tooth Outpost and replace it with something better.

I hope Rare builds a better outpost if Golden Sands Outpost falls. I’m just looking at it from a programming point or view. What would require less work? Building a new outpost from the ground up or converted the old Sea Dog Arena island.
